REST with Jersey and Jetty part 1
Running Jersy standalone with a Servlet.
A few days ago I started to look into how to run a REST service with an embedded container. Now a friend of Springframework will say, that is easy with Spring, but after looking at a tutorial [http://spring.io/guides/tutorials/bookmarks/] I notice a couple of things. The annotations are not the standard JSR 331/339 ones, and there is a lot of other things from spring framework coming into play. Well, sorry Spring-guys, I don’t want that. I want to go with standard JSR annotations, and no specialities from Spring.
So my ide is to use Jersey which is the reference implementation och JSR 311/339 and run it on a server that can be embedded. What I want to do is to have the following support.- Ability to run with an embedded server (my choise: “jetty”)
- Ability to serve REST calls (my choise: “Jersey”)
- Ability to communicate wiht JSON.
I will start this “journey” by building it up step by step. In this part, I will do only what is necessary to start an embedded server.
I used the above blog as a starting point. First step I will show is how to run a servlet in an embedded Jetty.
The first thing to do is to have a dependency to Netty.
The server will be started in a class with a main method,
There will also be a simple servlet to run in it.
Next post is about how to create a REST service based on Jersey and run it in Jetty.
(Update: changed the version of Jetty dependency, since I in next post use Jersey 2.17 and there was some issues running with Jetty 9.0.2)
